Sumlin’s new contract worth $3.1 million annually

COLLEGE STATION – The new contract of Texas A&M football coach Kevin Sumlin is signed, unsealed and delivered – and he’ll be making a base salary of $3.1 million in leading the Aggies into their second year in the Southeastern Conference.

He originally signed a $2 million annual salary a year ago, before guiding A&M to an 11-2 record and a Cotton Bowl whipping of Oklahoma in a season in which quarterback Johnny Manziel won the Heisman Trophy. Sumlin also will have a draw of $3.4 million annually for his assistants, which he especially lobbied for in raising it from $2.7 million last year.
